Head-to-head for moms
CoreAge Rx vs Andrew Meds
CoreAge Rx and Andrew Meds both offer GLP-1 telehealth to mothers, but they make different trade-offs on family-budget value, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Editors' Rating — our six-factor rubric for mothers.
CoreAge Rx
Higher scoreRanked #1 · Grade A

Ranked #121 · Grade C
Best for: A family that wants every tier priced in front of them before starting, and will decide deliberately whether a year paid up front is worth $50 a month.
Visit Andrew MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Andrew Meds on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 57 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Andrew Meds is still a genuine option — almost nobody shows a family the whole ladder before the intake, and Andrew Meds does: compounded semaglutide at $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six and $1,788 for twelve, with tirzepatide at $299, $797, $1,494 and $2,748. Read the long plans as what they are, because each is a single charge rather than a smaller monthly bill — the advertised $149 semaglutide means paying a full year before the first box ships. Where it matters most, the disclosure is better than average. Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that actually writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X, with its own address in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and the District of Columbia, listed rather than claimed as a number, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. The gaps are the compounding pharmacy, never named, and a refund policy that returns nothing on a period you have partly used. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
Andrew Meds
Ranked #121 · Grade C
What we like
- The complete price ladder for both molecules is published before any intake
- Names the separate practice that prescribes, with its own address and phone number
- All fifty states and DC enumerated rather than asserted as a count
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge — $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named; the terms say only "contracted pharmacies"
- No refunds for partially used periods, and refunds are at the company's discretion
